Select as well the type of CRS, and the authority of your interest. For EPSG systems you can click the code-link to visit their specs.\n\nSelecting the checkboxes next to the \"areas of use\" will display a rectangle in the map.\n\nUse the `Filter by name` form to search on the Name column (click the info `\u003ci\u003e` to understand the syntax).\n\nThere are available the WKT 1 and 2 (generated by PROJ as WKT1_GDAL and WKT2_2019) as links to static files. If your browser is helpful, you can see them also as a tooltip.\n\nIt looks something like this:\n\n![alt text](screenshot.png)\n\nYou can directly show [all available reference systems](https://jjimenezshaw.github.io/crs-explorer/?all=true) in this link, more than 12500 so far.\n\n## Why\nMany people asked \"Which coordinate (reference) system should I use in my project/country/state/location?\", \"Really, is there a vertical one in my country?\" or  \"What is the _right_ WKT for _this_ CRS?\".\n\nWell, instead of doing a research every time, just look what is available in [PROJ](https://proj.org). The command line application `projinfo` can be tedious, and not easy for many people. For some use cases, this is an \"easy to use\" version available on the browser.\n\nPROJ includes an updated version of [EPSG](https://epsg.org) database, ESRI and some other authorities (looking for a deprecated ESRI CRS? visit [ESRI codes analyzer](https://github.com/jjimenezshaw/Esri-codes-analyzer)).\n\nThe behavior was inspired in https://cdn.proj.org (that shows the grid files from PROJ-data in a map) in combination with the option `--list-crs` of the program [projinfo](https://proj.org/apps/projinfo.html)\n\n\n## Data generation\nThe static html page loads a json file generated from [PROJ](https://proj.org) with [pyproj](https://pyproj4.github.io/pyproj/stable/). \nTo produce the `crslist.json` file you have to build pyproj with the desired version of PROJ. In my case, I did this:\n * export PROJ_DIR=~/proj_install_folder/\n * export PROJ_DATA=~/proj_install_folder/share/proj/\n * pip uninstall pyproj\n * pip install git+https://github.com/pyproj4/pyproj.git\n * python3 ./scripts/proj2json.py\n\nOr have a look at the folder [scripts](scripts). You can run easily in a docker image.\n\n## Thanks\n * [PROJ](https://proj.org)\n * [Leaflet](https://leafletjs.com/)\n * [OpenStreetMap](https://www.openstreetmap.org/) \n","funding_links":[],"categories":[],"sub_categories":[],"project_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fosgeo%2Fproj-crs-explorer","html_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/projects/github.com%2Fosgeo%2Fproj-crs-explorer","lists_url":"https://awesome.ecosyste.ms/api/v1/projects/github.com%2Fosgeo%2Fproj-crs-explorer/lists"}
